Hi yet to check pressure again but last ridden was following |
|
white lines and road features these tyres are avon road runners |
|
nearly new what tyres have uk riders found best suited this bike |
|
does 50/50 main roads and back lanes all on Tarmac but lanes are |
|
not to good this time of the year just thought I might ask well |
|
ask other owners and get the best tyre first as last |
|
Regards mike |

I bought Heidenau K36 (IIRC) tyres when I first got the bike in |
|
'02, having little faith that the 30 year old rubber would be up |
|
to the job. They were fine, with no whitelining. When the rear |
|
wore out, I was forced to buy a Metzeler ME77, because there |
|
wasn't anything else available at the time, and that worked |
|
perfectly well for a while. However, once part worn, the |
|
handling became dangerously unstable, and the front end would |
|
swerve very alarmingly over white lines and overbanding. Not |
|
just unsettling, but dangerous, so I guess the worn Metzeler |
|
didn't like getting paired with the original Heidenau on the |
|
front. In search of a more dual purpose 'look' I chose a pair of |
|
chunky Heidenau K34s which have shown themselves to be good |
|
enough all rounders. Heidenau are a good source, as they're East |
|
German, and the NF tyres are the same fit as most MZs. |

If you're a scratcher, you might find the TT100 more to your |
|
liking. |

|
I'd go for the Heidenau then. |
|
East Germany isn't East Germany any more, and the quality seems |
|
fine. |

Hmmmm.... just read this old post as I have had a white-lining |
|
problem with my Falcone (Dunlops front and back). The new rear |
|
tyre wore out after less than 10k km, which I found a little |
|
disappointing, so I am about to change it for a Heidenau. I |
|
hope to comment on the pairing with the slightly worn Dunlop on |
|
the front. Time will tell....... |

Hi, |
|
based on my personal experience, |
|
I found the best compromise (vintage look tires ,conduction , |
|
durability, etc.) with the Metzeler ME 77 |
|
I change, the rear tyre every 12000 km ( average) and the front |
|
tyre every 24000 Km ( average) |
